banner republican
county of the u. s.
To look for the banner Repub-
lican county of the United
States in Texas would seem to
one not informed like the wildest
of ventures, so prone are the
citizens of Texas to vote the
democratic ticket.
It is true, nevertheless, that in
Texas the banner Republican
county may be found. It is call-
ed Zapata, and it is on the inter-
national border, far down along
the lower course of the Rio
Grande.
This year it cast 509 votes, and
the democratic candidate for
governor did not receive a single
one. Every one was cast for
the Republican ticket. This re-
markable showing is, however,
not all that may be said for the
intelligence of Z lpata, county,
for in 1908 it went just as solid-
ly Republican, every vote hav-
ing been cast for President Taft.
It is safe to say that no other
county in the United States can
present a record like this. Some
may have cast a greater number
of Republican votes; but pre-
sumably, no other one can show ;
that not a single vote was given
the democratic candidate. With
such a brilliant example in their
midst, how can the other Texas
counties persist in the error of
theii democratic way ?—Okla-

determined by the supreme
court, and I look for that to
come when Oklahoma's case
reaches that tribunal." Con-
gressman McGuire was at home
during the holidays and was
married Monday of last week in
Kansas City, Mo., to Mrs. Ruby
R. Matchette, one of the most
talented women of that city, a
linguist of high standing and a
thoroughly cultivated woman.
She is the daughter of Prof.
Joseph T. Ridgeway, for 24 years
connected with the Kansas City
schools, and her mother was
McGuire's first school teacher,
the families being long time
friends. Mrs. Matchette was
Congressman McGuire's com-
mittee clerk in the present con-
gress.

a question the u. s. supreme
court must decide.
Pawnee, Okla., Jan. 5.-"It
is a matter the United State su-
preme court must decide." was
the answer given by Congress-
man Bird S. McGuire when ask-
ed recently this question:
"In the face of the supreme
court of Oklahoma holding Okla-
homa enabling act's provisions
not binding, what will congress
do in passing finally upon state-
hood for Arizona and new Mexi-
co, who have recently drafted
their constitution?"
"Congress will continue as in
the past, placing the restrictions
in enabling acts. It is the rule
always followed. The enabling
acts of Arizona and New Mexico
in fact have more restrictions in
them than had Oklahoma's for
the reason that there are Mexican
complications to meet. The
question relative to the binding
taxpayers must put money
into bailey's pockets.
Guthrie, Okla., Jan. 5.-Sen-
ator Joseph VV. Bailey of Texas,
a« special counsel for this state,
and Fred S- Caldwell of Okla-
homa City, who is Governor Has-
kell's prohibition enforcement at-
torney, will appear for Oklahoma
before the United States su-
preme court on January 16 when
Oklahoma's application will be
argued for a writ of prohibition
to prevent the federal courts of
this state enjoining the seizure
of contraband liquors according
to the state's prohibtion law.
1 he taxpayers of Oklahoma
must pay salary to Bailey, the
Texas friend of the Standard Oil
company, although they have an
attorney general, whom they
have elected, and ahost of assist-
ants who have drawn over $29,000
annual in salaries from the state
treasury. In addition to the
the money, that must be paid to
Bailey in liquor cases, he will al-
so get $50,000 from Oklahoma
to defend Oklahoma's 2-cent rate
cases. It is not known why.
